My friend wants to know how much for 2 1/2 minutes?
If he's a friend of yours he'd probably know already :smileylaughing:
Have you tried the Ferry hopper app?

I have not used it personally but it was recommended to me a few months ago when I had thought that I would make it there by September, and had a similar conversation with a local .

athenian brothel. The legal establishments have a red light. The unlicenced, a white light.
This one appears to be unlicenced. On the plus side it looks like it's got aircon.

don't forget to remind your "friend" that the ST hotel will set him
back 5e for half an hour even if he just chooses to use the lift
a popular choice is the aptly named "Easy Access Hotel". Reservations are not required.

I apologise for deviating from Td's usual high brow narrative. Athens has an incredibly sleazy, almost medieval underbelly, the likes of which havent been seen in most western cities since the 1980s or earlier.
In Lesvos i stayed at the Delfinia. A mid size 3 star hotel. All very pleasant with large gardens, directly on the beach. I was one of only two guests.

A few randoms from a week in Kefalonia in July. I love the place.
A pool and a view well worth waking up to.

Not many people around during these Covid times, but a coffee for me, a chocolate for her and a drink for Chitty.

@L&F - still a cute dog - good to know it's OK. Thanks for the pics!
Kefalonia is beautiful. I stopped in Argostoli for a few weeks when sailing. The whole town had to be rebuilt after the 1953 earthquake. Some great beaches. Ittaca is arguably better for away from it all holidaying. I like the west coasts of the Ionian islands best - wild seas and great beachcombing.
They're a bit of a bugger to get to though without direct flights. From Athens you need train or bus (KTEL - ΚΤΕΛ Νομού Αχαϊας - Online Resevation ) to Patras and then the ferry.
The bus also goes direct to Lefkas (worthwhile for a few days holiday) which although is classed as an island is really more of an isthmus with a canal cut across and bridge
It is indeed stunning and, funnily enough, there was an earthquake while we were there that was 5 or 6 on the Richter Scale. My first time there was many moons ago - way before Captain Corelli's Mandolin - and it has changed massively since then with the beach resort of Lassi running as far as the top of the hill as you come to Argostoli.
I've been to a few Greek islands - Lesvos, Samos, Thassos and a couple of others whose names elude me at the moment - but Kefalonia is my favourite.
Fiskardo - in particular - is a magical place.

The best coves and beaches are on the west coast. There are a few out of the way spots south of the airport however. Access via gravel road off highway
